It depends on which dSLR. At the very basic level CW has aready covered the lens and mirror (for real-time TTL viewing) part. Generally, dSLR's have much quicker power-up, no movie mode, faster focus and virtually no shutter lag.

The advantage of the all-in-one DSLR-like cameras is that they're inexpensive and offer many of the featurs of a DSLR. The advantage of DSLR is the larger sensor size and hence the cleaner image. Non-DSLR photos often need more adjustmants and are pretty much a compromise between cost and quality. With a DSLR you can use a cheap lens or a very expensive lens with obvious repercussions on quality. Usable high-ISO might be attractive to some too.
